Spyderco Forums

I have carried both the Sage and the Caly3. In my pockets, at least, the Sage is noticeably "fatter" and heavier. If you can live without the lock, the flat ground UKPKs are the same form as the Caly3 and lighter in weight than the Sage. I have one of the original green G10 handled ones an...

I have had the tiny-chip problem with both S30V and ZDP-189 when I sharpen them to 30 degrees inclusive. Didn't think my uses were that tough - cutting random stuff around the ranch - but there you have it. I now sharpen to 30 degrees all the way through, and then add a very small microbevel at 40 d...

After EDC'ing Calys and Sages I went back to the ZDP Delica. FFG is nice but I can't say as I notice any difference in routine use. This is a great knife ergonomically, too, at least for my small hands.

However, we are comparing Spyderco S30V and ZDP189 so I stand by my statements regarding Spyderco S30V and ZDP189. In fact ZDP189 can take an angle of 15 degree's per side and hold up better than S30V does. This seems to be born out in testing. I know my UKPK at 15 degree's per side likes to micro ...

Not to be rude, and nothing personal, but I think threads like this waste everybody's time. The subject has been discussed many times before. If you need to pry on a regular basis, get a prying tool (prying with a screwdriver is really a misuse of a screwdriver) and get on with it. Or, if you want t...

I bought my wife an etched Cricket. She loves it and keeps it in a special drawer in her dresser. Then i got her the tattoo Dragonfly. It is still in its box and in the same drawer. Finally, I gave her a black blade Native. Now that one gets carried around when we have a work day at her folks' ranch...

Excellent review, thanks very much. As a ZDP fan I await that version. I carried a couple of dragonflies over the years, the ones with the molded clip, and liked them very much. Lost them both eventually. And I recently bought the Tattoo version for my wife as a drawer queen, and she loves it. PS. M...

I really appreciate that Sal "eats" feedback, AND Sequimite I really appreciate everything you've done with the polls, many thanks AND ICSK the handle mockups are great (although personally I don't really get the whole handle color thing I know a lot of folks do) AND I love my G10/S30V lea...

Do we know for a fact these washers are teflon and not just plain old nylon? I had a post that asked this question several months back when I got my Walker and never got an answer. PS. I carried my Walker for a while - VERY nice - but the clip arrangement was way too flashy for EDC in the office env...

Thanks - very nice!

I feel like this sort of really informative thread is what's best about this forum, and lately it's been swamped with "I want a ****, I just got a ****, I can't wait for my ****, I love my new ****, I'm disappointed in my new ****, what's better, **** or ****.

Good show!

I am a little concerned that the various threads about "flicking" and "the Spyderco drop" on this forum won't help the cause if that NY DA ever sends a minion here to search. Personally I think it is ridiculous to buy a nice Spyderco knife and then perhaps loosen the pivot and ab...

Creepo, that certainly makes more sense, but peeling the grapefruit is often the most fun I have with my EDC all day long!

I have been using some wonderful Spydercos for EDC since last summer, including the Caly3 CF, Walker CF, Native, Sage 1, and UKPK. I like them all, and within reason any one of them is a fine EDC for the office environment I work in. I wanted to pick one for EDC - if you carry different ones, then t...

I gave mine an etched Cricket, a Dragonfly Tatoo, and a Native. She carries the native when she might need a knife, and the others stay in their boxes as too nice to use.

Round and round we go. Some people believe liner locks are stronger than back locks. Here's a quote from a 1997 article by Bernard Levine in Knives Illustrated . " ...STRONG AND SECURE As it worked out, Mike had not anticipated just how strong his new lock would be. About 1984 I helped to run s...

It's interesting what our perceptions about threats are. Several people are on here today congratulating NH on their new knife law. Now that is great and fits right in with the "live free or die" state (I lived just over the border in Vermont for 18 years). In addition, some of these folks...

What a terrific review! Thanks much.

Whatever sort of fierce appliance the Manix is, I agree that it is in a different class than the others. I carried a Native for a while, loved the ergonomics, but didn't like the thick blade. My wife now has it. Looking forward to the FFG Native 4. I carried a Sage CF for a while, a terrific knife, ...

Great review, as always, thanks again!

I have had several Delicas and Enduras over the years, but FWIW right now the knife of my heart (and EDC) is the UKPK. I love the slipit mechanism, took me by surprise, it did. Cheers.
